Who plugs straight in? What do you use?

[brotherbassj]

Warwick or Spector bass-------->Carvin B1500---------->Bergantino NV215

or

Warwick or Spector Bass------>Thunderfunk 550B----->Aguilar DB112 and DB112NT

 

[Kaa]

I'll let it go this time.

thanks.

I used to go P/J-->LM2-->1x15, but that rig went bye-bye.

 

[4Mal]

Straight...straight into a Radial Bassbone . Just to gain balance two different basses though. The eq is flat... Then into whatever amp I bring to the gig...

 

[dave2]

Warwick bass plugs into the Demeter HPB-1 preamp which feeds the Crown XTi4000 power amp which drives my Aguilar GS410 at 4ohms. I love this rig!

 

[Sam Evans]

Thompson upright -> Realist pickup -> HPF Pre-amp -> Carvin MB10

or

Carvin Icon fretless -> Carvin MB10

Korg Pitchjack plugged into the amp's tuner output.

That's it. At home, playing along with my CDs, I'll run my Fender into some pedals now and again, but no need for pedals in any actual playing situation these days.

EDIT: Oh, I just saw the post where I'm supposed to add insight ... I'm pretty much a classical and jazz musician these days, and mostly traditional jazz, so effects just aren't called for. I'm not anti-effect - I have a few I like to mess around with at home - but in real playing situations, even in rock bands when I was younger, I just never needed them much. Plus, I just love the sound of a pure bass signal - it's so rich and versatile, I rarely feel the need for more.

I have several basses but usually use my 2011 MIA Fender Jazz Deluxe or my 2008 MIA Fender Standard Precision.

Ampeg SVT 6 Pro with 2 SVT410HE Cabs. I have a separate rack with a Furman PL8 Power Conditioner, A Sennheiser Wireless and a Korg Tuner.

Sometimes I use my 1970's Fenders or an Alembic Epic 5 string. I also have an early 1970's SVT head and 810 cab which I use occasionally.

 

[Interceptor]

Barker B1 > Thunderfunk TFB420 > fEarful 12/6.

 

[user362432]

I use cable to plug in.

 

[Baird6869]

Always a Jule Monique preamp/Crest poweramp and Berg 210 cab(s).

Basses are MTD, Spector and Modulus.... All 5ers.

No effects, just a TC tuner.

 

[drummer5359]

I run a Fender American Standard Jazz, American Standard Precision or vintage Tele bass straight into an old Fender Bassman 400 over a Bassman 115.

 

[rodl2005]

These days it's
1. Alleva-Copollo EUT5 or Fender P or Tele > Traynor YBA300 > Bergantino NV412

2. Gibson G3 or Ric Cheyenne > Fender Studio 200 > 2xPF115HE's with Emi 3015's in em.

 

[efe_gallagher]

I'm technically speaking always plugged in directly as I split my signal after my tuner to keep a clean signal ("Output B" carries all my FX )

 

[Joe Louvar]

Fender P bass
into
GK MB115 amp

Load in/setup/load out in minutes

Meh--I'd bet 99% of bassists worldwide don't even have a tuner in line, just bass and amp. You're probably thinking it's not that way just because the tech-heads and gear-heads on TB (like me) make such a production of all the gear. People don't use so many gadgets in "the real world".

I was part of this 99% until quite recently. A couple of months ago it would have been:

Precision copy / Epi EB-3 / Schecter Model T --> Laney Richter 8

Now it's

Precision copy / Epi EB-3 / Schecter Model T --> Ibanez Bass Tubescreamer -->Laney Richter 8


So not a lot's changed...

 

[SteveC]

With an amp: Bass --> Amp (tuning done via Tuner Out and Korg CA-30 velcroed to amp)

DI only: Bass --> TU-2 (for tuning and muting) --> DI

My only bass is a Geddy Lee jazz.
My amp is a Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0-10T and Shuttle 10T Extension cab.

I do plan to add IEM's soon. It'll be a wired system as I don't move much. Rolls Personal Monitor 50 and an extension cable for the earbuds that I will run with my bass cable. Buds TBD.

 

[Figjam]

SVT CL
Ampeg210av(s)

[delta7fred]

ART Pro Channel II preamp ->
Homebrew 35Hz HPF (fitted inside ART PC II) ->
Peavey IPR1600 ->
fEARful 12/6 and/or 15/6

 

[mgbass]

A/C LG-5, Bluesman Vintage P-4, Sad JJ-5 into Genz Benz Shuttlemax 9.2 into, 2 -2/12 GK NEO cabs.
Has all the umph and clarity I need.
Love it and its all very light weight.

 

[oddgrowth]

76 Fender P or J, Gibson LP Triumph, Warwick corvette

into either:

Mesa M2000 w/2 1x15s or Marshall JCM 800 Superbass Mk II w/ 1935 4x12

The M2000 has a pedal board I don't even use.
I do have a rack tuner chained in with the M2000.

Just got a G&L L-2500 this past weekend - so load that in the front end.

 

[almightycrunch]

My Fender Jazz Plus 5 banger goes straight into my SWR WorkingPro 400 head into a pair of SWR 4x10 cabs.
